Sun in Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.

Beyond the planets
What’s this?Close
Points read beside the planets. The rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign coming up over the eastern horizon at the minute of birth: the first impression. The Midheaven is the highest point of the sky: career and public life. The North Node is where the Moon’s path crosses the Sun’s: the direction a life grows in. Chiron, a small body between Saturn and Uranus, is a lifelong sore spot and the gift it leaves for others. Black Moon Lilith, where the Moon’s orbit swings farthest from Earth, is what a person keeps untamed.
North Node in Scorpio
The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
15°03′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
14°42′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
8°22′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
What’s this?Close
When several aspects lock into one shape, such as a triangle or a cross, the planets in it act together, and the shape says how: easily, under strain, or with one planet as the focus.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In her chart, her identity, her independence and her intensity (the Sun, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws her attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In her chart, her mind, her heart and her drive (Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first.
Aspects by strength
What’s this?Close
An aspect is a set angle between two bodies in the sky at birth. Some angles flow, some rub, and some fuse two bodies into one. The number is how far the angle is from exact: the smaller it is, the stronger the link.
Only the aspects that held from the first minute of the day to the last are shown; each figure is for noon.
Saturn trine Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Old and new sit well together: she can change things without throwing out what works.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Moon sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
Steady feelings: she keeps calm under strain, and she loves in ways that last.
The Moon opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
Her moods change without warning, and she wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
Mars sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 1.2°
Her way with words helps her find her direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.

Love and friendship move her forward: the people she cares for help her find her way.
Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 3.7°
Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 6.2°
She doubts her own ideas before anyone else can, and so she checks every one twice.
The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 8.9°
Born original: her identity and her need for freedom are the same thing, and she surprises people, herself included.
